The Long and Winding Road



If I have a personal favorite among my song poems, this one is it.  Inspired by the mournful, orchestral masterpiece by the Beatles:  "The Long And Winding Road."

Paul, John, George and Ringo were so young, and were at this point, sadly, in the waning years of their unprecedented success in rock history and culture.  

Here, a lovely instrumental:



Then, The Corrs, live.  While Andrea's Irish accent may take some getting used to, for the lead vocals, hers is a very tender, beautiful rendition.
